not sure how to reoply with quotes yet but a few points which id like to mention.
is it our limited perception that is at fault,being unable to grasp the idea of something being permanent?(have we always assumed that something must have a beggining and an end)
and i suppose the lower form of enegy,which we call material is under gods control so it is constantly being destroyed and created(we percieve this via sciences such as Astronomy,nuclear physics,particles being destroyed and created).........I would greatly like to be able to discern between temporary and permanent features,i think if we could discover permanent features of the creation this would be good.for example is light energy permanent?
